"My lord, my lord, I found the smell!" one of his subordinates quickly ran to Jim's side, pointing behind him with a look of surprise on his face.

"Oh?" and Wood exchanged glances, and Jim asked, rather uncertainly, "In which direction?"

"Northwest, my lord, it's Northwest. ”

When Jim heard this, he immediately ordered: "Everyone concentrate on the northwest and follow the smell of Osborne's discovery!"

After leaving the city, I searched for more than four hours intermittently, and now the sky is completely bright.

The winter sun came out too late, and I looked at the time of the pocket watch.

08:29 min!

The troops quickly concentrated from a wide net search, and the speed and efficiency increased many times at once.

But as they ran, these people sensed something was wrong. It's too far!

I've gone deep into the Eagle Mountains, but I still can't even see a figure.

The steam that everyone and their pets breathed out suddenly turned into ice mist when it was blown by the cold wind.

In order to prevent the smell from dissipating, they had been running at high speed for nearly two hours, and they didn't care about sorting out the traces all over their bodies.

At this time, except for a few people such as Jim and Osborne at the front, the more people or animals at the back of the line were covered with a little hoarfrost.

But the more they run, the more bottomless they become, too far!

At this time, not to mention a child, even their group of adults are a little unbearable.

"My lord, the Forest Tiger can't keep up with us. ”

When Jim heard this, he stopped, turned his head and panted behind him, and cursed, "Damn!"

Almost all of them were wolfdogs, with only two adult lynxes among them.

These slender and nimble pets are fast enough, but they are far less powerful than Forest Tigers.

But if the speed slows down, who knows how far away Ma Shuo is?

If the drug has lost its effect, Ma Shuo faints in this deep mountain and wild forest, which is likely to attract some animals.

Food is scarce in the Eagle Mountains in winter, and large carnivores are very aggressive. Especially those who don't need to hibernate can simply eat meat as soon as they see it.

Thanks to the bears hibernating, otherwise, with the keen sense of smell of these big guys?

Jim was thinking wildly in his head, when suddenly Wood next to him interjected, "My lord, let's break up for the time being." ”

"Good. Jim pursed his lips and turned to his subordinate Osborne and ordered, "You stay and wait for them to catch up, and we will continue to move forward." Catch up with us as soon as possible, it's an order!"

"Yes!" Osborne thumped his chest and saluted, immediately turning and running towards the rear of the troops.

Seeing this, Jim turned his head to look at Wood and sighed, "For the rest of the time, we all have to be vigilant." ”

A large group of troops reluctantly divided into two groups, one fast and one slow, and continued to search for an hour in the deep mountains.

Just when everyone's physical strength was about to bottom out, the peregrine falcon flying in the sky suddenly descended. Jim raised his arm to catch it steadily, listening to his pet chirp softly.

The troops took advantage of this short time to recover their strength as much as possible.

"Ahead should be Eagle Lake, and there is a figure on the south shore of the lake. Jim thought for a moment and translated the peregrine falcon's call.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and their confused hearts suddenly had an accurate goal.

Almost all of them dragged their tired bodies to look at the northwest, and a sentence flashed in their minds at the same time: "Lao Tzu actually ran from the city to Xiongying Lake? Ancestors bless! This is a miracle of 120 kilometers!"

In normal training, they almost run 50 kilometers with full weight, but now they have more than doubled the distance, and their faces are full of disbelief.

Jim couldn't do so much for the time being, although he was quite surprised, but the closer the target was to them, the more dangerous they were.

Break four ribs of Leon with one punch!

Gasping for breath, he looked at the subordinates around him: "Next, let's rest for a few minutes, recover some strength and continue walking." ”

Exhausted, if Ma Shuo continues to go crazy again, don't look at their current crowds, it is estimated that there will be no difference from delivering food at that time.

Although "Porcupine" has excellent marksmanship and hidden weapons, he is not the kind of fool who has no self-knowledge.

can kill Leon in one move, and they can only catch but not kill. Half of your strength is considered good, so you must maintain a certain amount of physical strength.

Seeing this, Wood immediately found his team and prepared the ropes.

There are also some local materials to make flying lines, that is, a rope with stones tied to both ends. This tool is simple, but it is surprisingly effective at catching and restraining people.

The peregrine falcon is still hovering in the sky, which means that the figure is not moving.

Ten minutes later, at the end of their break, the Forest Tigers behind them followed.

Immediately ordered them to rest for a while, while Jim led his men and wolfhounds to Eagle Lake slowly.

After less than two kilometers, the wolfdogs all stopped, as if there was something very dangerous in front of them.

Everyone stopped in shock, and Jim learned two eagle chirps to summon the peregrine falcon, but the answer was that everything was normal.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, and turned my head to look at Wood, both of whom felt that the wolfdog's behavior was very familiar.

Almost in unison, he expressed the doubts in his heart: "The man in green is ahead!"

After thinking about it, the team immediately split up again. Half of them stayed behind to guard the animals and wait for backups, and the two of them continued with 20 people.

When they looked at the lake with great care, the first thing they saw was a boulder.

A gray-white boulder with a diameter of more than ten meters, half on the shore and half smashed into the lake.

This made them wonder: "When did the big rock appear?"

They used to come to Eagle Lake a lot, and there wasn't even a single obvious piece of rubble around, let alone boulders.

Carefully leaned forward to be even more surprised, the body of the man in green had frozen into ice.

The front and back of the body were connected to the limbs, and the blood did not flow much before it froze completely. Especially the frightened face before death, it still looks so vivid at this time.

There was no human figure around, and he forcibly pulled a wolf to look for it, and found that the smell of Ma Shuo disappeared next to the boulder.

After some deliberation, the two decided to continue the search with their subordinates until they completely lost their smell and did not return to the city.

"What?" An Ruihong was at the eldest prince's house at night, eating with John and his sister. Hearing Jim's report, all three of them were stunned.

"Yes, Your Highnesses. Jim nodded categorically: "The smell and footprints of His Royal Highness will disappear completely after reaching Eagle Lake." We searched the area for another thirty kilometers without any human smell. ”

An Ruihong's hands were clenched into fists, and her whole body trembled slightly.

Looking down at the food in front of him, as if he was looking at the enemy of life and death, he ordered in a cold voice: "The corpse of the man in green is handled carefully, and in addition, in the name of me and the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce, a nationwide search reward will be issued." ”

John glanced at An Ruihong, and when he was about to speak, An Ruihong interrupted without a word: "Don't mention Xiaobai as my righteous son, but give me the bounty of 1 million gold coins." To live, to live, to live, to live!"

An Xuehua, John, and even Green and Jim were shocked, looking at each other and smiling bitterly.

A sentence popped up in his heart almost at the same time: "It is worthy of the president of Snow Fox, rich!"

When the bright moon is in the sky, the Eagle Lake is scattered.

It was midnight when there was no one, and the lake was already pitted by this time due to the digging of corpses and bloodstains.

Suddenly, there were several soft sounds, and several pieces of rubble fell from the surface of the boulder.

Some smashed thin ice, and some fell directly into the water.
